Sumatran Orangutan Society

Swing through your week like an orangutan! 🦧 Here's some #midweekmotivation. Orangutans are a keystone species. They shape the habitat in ways that benefit other species and the overall biodiversity of the rainforest. We act as a keystone organisation in the "ecosystem" of conservation stakeholders in Sumatra. We amplify the voices and expertise of our local partners, recognising their unique insight into conservation challenges and solutions. Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/euWgGdh2

Help Archie reach his target! Archie loves stories but finds reading extremely difficult and tiring due to his dyslexia. He has set himself a reading challenge to raise funds for SOS – inspired by his love for orangutans. Please share. 🦧💚

Feeling stuck this week? Our #midweekmotivation is here to help. 🦧 Orangutans aren't just physically agile. They also have impressive behavioural agility. For example, orangutans change their vocalisations depending on their social situation. We believe that the key to achieving long-lasting conservation results is to be agile and nuanced in our approach. We embrace innovation, such as funding canopy bridges to connect fragmented forests.
